Six Billion and One Bronze!

I think We should not blame government, its one's individual effort. Problem arises in our family. All parents want to make their child an engineering, doctor not a sportsman and this discouragement from their own family not let the talented child or sportsman to achieve their goal and win hundreds of medal.

Encouragement and support from family as well as others are also important to motivate the talented person.

Sometimes due to financial problem also the poor children cannot able to reach and participate the national level competition even they are talented, so here Government has to provide some facilities and infrastructure for the poor people.

Ya I accept of all your points, in reasoning in Punjab our favourite cricket player Yuvaraj sing was affected by a cancer is all we know, the Punjab government give the money for is treatment, but the same Punjab girl (athletic) affected by cancer, who's for is play for is state and our national the government thus not give any congestion or money to the girl for treatment. Hear we note one point the person who know the situation only to solve the problem, the politicians thus not know the games, but our Indian players are how to find the good and well players for games, so the the sports committee are organised by only the good players in all sports and that committee thus not under any government. That only we make shine in our sports, and also our encourage is also important.

As an Indian we should first draw a thick line between politics, money and sports. To bring every thing on right track, politics, money use and sports should be very transparent. Until these three things are not transparent and free from money flood, we should be ready to accept such result.

Let me now discuss these three majors are getting mixed with each other and how can we avoid it into three points :

1. Politics : There isn't any thing left like patriotism in politician now. Money is all which is driving all our politicians (vote for money is recent major scam). There is huge influence of politics in sports too, due to which our true sportsmen are missing. Politician plan well not to promote good talented, but their own kins. Also, sports management and conduction has merely became a another way of filling pocket in quick time (CWG the recent scam). Now the question is how can we over come from this curse.. Answer is establishment of transparent policies, and selection of sportsmen should be through that channel only (example : there should be an independent body which should select and promote deserved sportsmen like Election Commission where govt. can't do anything)

2. Money : Money should be used in its best possible way. Money earned from Cricket must also be shared with other sports in creation of other sports infrastructure, payments for sportsmen. We know that India has most revenue from Cricket, but money earned from it should be shared in other sports. We have to think in all directions in all sports bodies.

3. Sports : We as Indian should think in giving respect and support for other sports also, so that our players in other sports get encouragement. Also, we should change our angle of thinking towards hard work. To defend this hard work point i would like to ask a question, why indian batting is far better (one of the best in world) than indian bowling? Answer is : we don't want to do hard work. Right from childhood we appraise a player who hits a six, but give very less appraise ( or I can say nil) to a bowler who has sweat a lot to take a precious wicket. So, in India every wants to become batsmen but nobody wants to become bowler. We want everything without doing much effort.

To summarize my view all I can say is until unless we bring a lot of changes in view and approach we are not going to get anything except this result of one bronze being world's second largest in population.

I can surely say, that cricket is not the main reason for not getting good players on other games, there are still many talented youth bloods are there to make our country proud in sports, the only thing is. How much people are supporting and encouraging that particular game, and if likely politicians donate something to the athletes and other sports persons. Surely this can change.

The politicians and the sports policies of India are the root cause of this. Some days back, there was a meeting at Indian olympic association to discuss the preparations of the upcoming olympics. The meeting was conducted for full 6 hours and only one sentence to the meeting agenda was said by an officer. "hum achha perform karenge". The whole meeting was full of politics and everyone there was more interested in retaining their posts. This is just a small example. This careless attitude towards olympics is the root cause of our humiliation there. Besides this, there are not state-of-art training facilities.

Hi to all, and i'm happy to discuss on this topic.
First of all i want to say don't blame our country and our politics.
because we are the people who elects our politicians,the first mistake is with in us.
and second thing is that
do we really encourage olympic's?
No,
HOW MANY OF U SAW THE BEIJING OLYMPICS AND THE CRICKET WORLD CUP 2011 ???
the answer is in your silence.

and coming to our government ANNOUNCES 1 CRORE FOR YUVARAJ SINGH FOR HITTING 6 SIXES.
Till now any government of india announces single np for any hockey player and its our national game..
it is very sad to say our hockey players get RS/2100 per match and our cricket player will get 2 lacks per match.
Unless we don't have certain encouragement WE WONT ABLE GET SUCCESS IN LIFE.

This itself shows that are "system is just not happening"! if you see the olympics medals tally India is way way behind. Other sports apart from just cricket should be taken seriously. Hockey for instance is our national game. Don't you think it should be changed to cricket rather. Why is that only when somebody bags a medal that then he/she is highlighted? abhinav bindra was showered with money after his victory at the olymics. But he is already such a rich guy, why spend so much on him?ther are so many poor athletes who need sponsors. Do they ever get it?the government should really concentrate on the struggling athletes, they should be given proper ground to nurture there talents. Proper coaching should be provided. If this done properly there may be a day soon we see India rising up at the medals tally.

I also believe that this is an important area to be discussed. Prima-facie I also thought that the reason why India is not being good at Olympics is because of the fact that Indian talent is unable to find the right place, right infrastructure, right mentor who can provide right direction. But when I gave a second thought, I found that the resources are available in abundance, the problem is with the utilization of these resources. If we say that finance is a major hurdle then it would be wrong to say so. The reason being the today India has a great Tax Collections, it has huge forex reserves and many more. But the problem is with our political system in which corruption has got its deep roots.

At once I thought why this corruption has got such a place in our country, society or even in our lives. After analyzing for long I found that it has got such place because its the way one could get MONEY in a quick time. But then the question comes why do we need this quick money. The reason could be COMPARISON.

We always get into an unwanted race of proving ourself better or superior than others. And when we find that we are behind, we start taking shortcuts to succeed. And slowly, this leads to a path which at a later stage is known as CORRUPTION.

So to end up this, I can say first we should change ourselves and rest will be done by our acts.

Its very shameful to say that India won just a single medal. There is not a lack of talent in India. As we can see in cricket so much talented players are there (sachin tendulkar, rahul dravid, m. S dhoni. ) why?resion is facilities provided to them!

As in olympics abhinav bindra won a gold medal by getting a good training from his coach. He is a rich person but not every talent of India is rich. I think that is the resion of india's pitty position in olyampics.

What I believe is that at present there are many talents in India but they are not able to participate at the international level just because of financial conditions. It was in the past that parents did not allow their children to participate in sports and aim it as his/her carrier. Today even parents are encouraging their children to participate in sports and other extra curricular activities along with studies. It is just because of money they are not able to disclose their talent I n front of the world. Even though India is a developing country and there are many millionares or billionares like Mittal, Ambani, Tata, Birla, etc. Still the poor are poorer. So, the talent cannot come forward. Thus, the requirement is that all the Indians should get united and try to encourage talent and help those talents who have financial problems so that India can also compete with the rest of the world and be in the top position.
